Saving one's life one could think he would be the super hero. The actor of X-Files, David Duchovny realized he wasn’t quite the superhero he thought he was. Once he thought that he'd saved a man from choking - only to later discover the guy was having an anxiety attack.The actor - who stars in new movie 'The Joneses' alongside Demi Moore and Miley Cyrus - came across a stranger struggling for breath a couple of years ago and the quick-thinking star quickly administered the Heimlich manoeuvre.
He said, “I was in Vancouver shooting ‘X-Files’ and one night I went outside to walk my dog. I see a guy in a bathrobe, and as I got closer and I could tell he was choking.
“So I grabbed him and did my best Heimlich manoeuvre, like I’m really yanking on his diaphragm. Finally, he calmed down and I waited with him until an ambulance came.The 49-year-old star said, “I was in a restaurant and he came up to me and said, ‘Remember me. You gave me the Heimlich, but I was just having an anxiety attack.’ I’m thinking, ‘Thank God I didn’t kill him.’ Anyway, he bought me a drink.”
